LYON, France, Jan 26 (Reuters) – Karl Toko-Ekambi scored on his Olympique Lyonnais debut to help them snatch a 3-0 home win against bottom side Toulouse and move up to a provisional fifth in the Ligue 1 standings on Sunday.
Cameroon forward Toko-Ekambi, on loan from Villarreal, added to Maxwel Cornet and Moussa Dembele’s earlier goals to put OL on 32 points from 21 matches.
Toko-Ekambi came on for Martin Terrier in the first half after his team mate collapsed on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher to a standing ovation.
“Martin Terrier was a victim of a vasovagal attack earlier during the first half,” Lyon said.
“Our player is better and has regained consciousness.
Toulouse, who have now lost their last 11 league matches, have 12 points.
